The energetic, invitation-only event focused on GAMMA students from the Computer Science Department, College of Fine Arts, and Radio-Television-Film Department, along with students from the Electronic Game Developers Society (EGaDS) student organization, being able to network with developers, hiring managers, and recruiters from Aspyr Media, Bee Cave Games, Electronic Arts (EA), Everi, Microsoft, UT SAGA Lab, and Wargaming. Along with discussing their career goals face-to-face with the companies, attendees were also able to learn more about company culture and projects directly from the company employees.

“We hold the GAMMA Career Fair every year so that our extremely talented GAMMA students can connect with the local tech industry,” said Paul Toprac, Associate Director and Senior Lecturer of the GAMMA Program. “Our students enthusiasm and passion about game and mobile development make them a great fit for any company looking to hire local Austin talent.”
